Firefox freezes with Flash addon enabled; doesn't freeze with Flash addon disabled.

Running Windows 8, Firefox 18.0.1, plugin Shockwave Flash 11.5.502.146 (current version, according to Firefox plugin check).
Firefox freezes every time when loading a page with Flash content when the Flash plugin is enabled. Firefox does not freeze when the Flash plugin is disabled. Repeatable, tested and confirmed multiple times - freezes consistently with Flash plugin enabled, loads pages perfectly when Flash plugin is disabled (though without Flash content).
When in this frozen state, Firefox is completely unresponsive - displays a blank page, can't type anything, can't click on or move/minimize the window. Must be force-quit via task manager.
Other browsers (e.g. Chrome) do not have this issue with Flash. Have noticed several similar problems reported with Firefox and Flash, but the only solution I have seen offered is to downgrade Flash (and introduce potential security issues). Surely there must be a better option? This is a massive issue for me - Firefox is my preferred browser but I cannot use it while it has this allergic reaction to the Flash plugin.

Downgrading Flash is not a solution. This problem seems to be intractable. It will be the end of Mozilla if they cannot address this issue (or even acknowledge the problem). Firefox needs to play nice with current versions of Flash.

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

Firefox command line option "-no-remote" doesn't work with profile.

I want to run the stripped version of firefox in background with one application and another full version of firefox for normal browsing. I have created the profile for the stripped version of firefox and loading the same using command firefox -P "stripped" -no-remote/firefox -no-remote -P "stripped". But when I start the full version of firefox by launcher "firefox" than it directly loads the stripped version even used the -no-remote option with profile. So I have created launcher for firefox and used the -no-remote with default profile like "firefox -no-remote". It works when first time I click on launcher but for second click it shows the message "Firefox instance is running, or not responding. close the firefox and restart the system". I have gone through the online available documents that suggests that use the -no-remote option with profile so the default profiles works correctly. But -no-remote option doesn't work with the profile. So is there any way to launch the full version of firefox by launcher on second click on launcher?

Yes, I used separate profiles only. But the -no-remote option doesn't work as mentioned http://kb.mozillazine.org/Opening_a_new_instance_of_Firefox_with_another_profile.
Please find below the command what I am using
firefox -P "stripped" -no-remote
firefox
If I use the above command than the new firefox window get the configuration from the stripped even if I have used the -no-remote.
I use the -no-remote with firefox default than it works for the first time.
I have created the launcher for firefox default. So if I click second time on launcher than it doesn't work.
firefox -P "stripped"
firefox -no-remote
(But doc on link -> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Opening_a_new_instance_of_Firefox_with_another_profile) says do not use the -no-remote with default.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Where to download Firefox 26? My add-on doesn't work with 27.

I use Roboform, which isn't yet compatible with Firefox 27. I need to reinstall Firefox 26. Where can I download it from? Thanks.

Hello vsskanand,
The download worked fine and installed Firefox 26. During the install, I deselected 'Install Maintenance Service'. However, after I installed Firefox 26, I went to 'Help' > 'About' in order to just confirm that it was indeed 26. When I did that, Firefox automatically downloaded 27 and activated it on next start up.
So I had to uninstall 27 and reinstall 26 again. I just mention this for others who may go through the same thing. Once you install 26, if you go to 'Help' > 'About', Firefox will auto-upgrade to 27, even if you deselected 'Install Maintenance Service'.
Thanks for your help in getting me what I needed. I will close this problem.

802.11n Enabler Doesn't work with 17" MacBook Pro (2.16) Intel Core Duo

While I would believe that the computer does meet the requirements and that it does have the extreme card and after following the instructions -- checking the network utility ap, etc. It is very strange that you get a "Alert: Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update." So you don't think that I am a fool, I did check the Network Utility and there is no "n" so it was never updated.
Is there any way to do this manually?
Thanks in advance.

The Core Duo machines don't have the newer Extreme card whose chipset supports 802.11n.
You can do some potentially warranty-voiding surgery, however, to replace the MBP's stock card with the Mac Pro Airport Extreme Upgrade card, which supports 802.11n and is plug-compatible with the MBP's stock card. It's available for $49 from places like PowerMax and Small Dog.

Tried to run 'socksify firefox' command in RHEL. This Doesn't work with Firefox while all other internet applications could be socksified.

I use Red hat enterprise linux and I need to connect to AIX servers which host my J2EE applications. I connect mainly for using our application through browser, FTPing and SSH-ing. I use Dante socks client. I socksify every application explisitely that connects our AIX servers. Eg. socksify ssh, or socksify gftp etc. Even I could run 'socksify opera'. However my favourite browser says no for 'socksify firefox'. I do not know if its a issue or may be there are other ways to achieve this. I know I can mention SOCKS proxy in firefox preferences, however I need to connects to several AIX servers through different socks servers. This requires me to use socks.conf. Can anyone help me to use firefox for my J2EE applications? Thank you.

Works fine here if I click that link in your above post.<br />

TP T60 with VISTA and dock doesn't work with DVI

Hi, at the first excuse my English.
I am beginner ]:->
I have Lenovo T60 with vista. I have advance dock from lenovo. DVI on dock doesn't work correctly. External display is distort, noisy.
After start of Vista is all right. But when I use blank white page monitor switch off and on in a circle. Monitor is in good order. Advence is in good order. (I change it 3 times).
Thank you for help or inspiration how to find a solution.

ok, i think i understand you now. you have an advance dock with a third-party PCI graphics card and can't get it to work under vista. my best recommendation is to try different drivers. i am not 100% positive but your PCI card might have to have the same GPU as your T61 to be compatible. perhaps someone else with more experience on this can help.

Insert Record with Parent/Child Tables doesn't work with Oracle - unlike AC

Hi,
I just Migrated a MS Access 2010 Database to an Oracle 11g Backend with the SQL Developer Tool.
The Migration went fine, all the Tables and Views are migrated.
I'm working with MS Access as Frontend.
The application has some Datasheets with Subdatasheets with Parent/Child Relationship. (1-n Relationship)
After changing to Oracle, it's not possible, to Insert a new Record in a Subdatasheet I always get the following Error Message:
"The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find a record in the table 'xxxx' with key matching field(s) 'zzzzz'"
It used to work perfect with the MS Access Backend, do I need a trigger which first adds the child Record ?
Or what should I do?
Thank you

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for your answer. I still haven't solved my problem. The only way would be to use a singel 1:n Relationship, but in fact I need a n:m Relationship.
I tried the same scenario with a new Access Application, same result.
To clearify my problem.
Goal: Parent Form with Parent Records, Linked Child Form with Child Records in a Datasheet View => Insert of a NEW Child Record.
I have 3 Tables (table1 = Parent tabel, table2 = Child Table, table12 = n:m Tabel with PK and two FK)
The Recordsource of the Parent Form is Tabel1
The Recordsource of the Child Form is Table2 joined with Table12.
In my Old Access Project, Access Triggered the Insert and filled Table12 with the NEW PK of Table2.
It seems like Access can't do that anymore....
I'm pretty desperate and I'm sure it is just a litte thing to fix.....

I movie w/ spliced pics throw off movie when uploaded to youtube? The pics lag and is now off with the audio. Doesn't happen with video, just pics and it's worse if I splice the pics to fit audio. Suggestions?

This is really annoying. I movie hd works well when compressing it to quicktime and uploading to youtube but when there's pics involved and I have to slice them to fit audio it messes with the timing in conjunction to the audio. Any ideas? It works fine in quicktime when compressed but once it's uploaded to youtube it acts fishy. Even though it's fine in quicktime it seems to be an issue in I movie and how it's compressed or something.
I movie HD- 5.0.2
quicktime player- 7.5.5
Compression settings
compression: h.264
quality: high
key frame rate:24
frame rec: yes
encoding mode: multi pass
dimensions: 320x 240
sound
format: acc
sample rate: 48.000khz
channels:mono
bit rate:64kbps

That's fantastic, worked really well, just like you said. I actually didn't expect such an easy solution to my problem, thanks very much.
It had the added bonus that it allows me to import the files quicker than before to iMovieHD if I am editing them.
Thanks again

IPad 4 with camera connection kit doesn't work with 64GB SDXC card on iOS 7.1.1

I have an iPad 4 and official Apple camera connection kit. Even though ios 7 was supposed to provide compatibility with SDXC cards there is obviously an issue. I'm using 64GB SDXC and 32GB SD cards - both Sandisck Extreme Pro with RAW Canon 5D Mark III files. The 32GB cards work fine - thumbnails appear quickly and pictures import fine. After inserting the 64GB cards thumbnail holders appear very slowly but the thumbnail images do not appear so I cannot import. I'm a pro photographer and I need this functionality so that I can show pictures to clients on location. Any ideas?

Are the photos on the 64GB card in RAW format? If so, this may apply.

Web-services Error with 6.1sp3 that doesn't occur with sp2

I have recently began testing of our application using the newly released weblogic
server 6.1 sp3. I took our existing compiled ear file and generated web-services
client.jar file from our last weblogic 6.1 sp2 compile, deployed it on the new
install of 6.1 sp3 and everything worked great.
Then, I went to make some coding changes and recompiled my application using the
6.1 sp3 binaries. Now, whenever I try to make a web-services call, I get the
following exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: weblogic/net/http/HttpsURLConnection
This error seems to be occurring on the following statement:
WebServiceProxy proxy = WebServiceProxy.createService(new java.net.URL( webProxyUrl
The strange part of the error is that my url is http://... and not https://.
Also, in my wsgen statement for ant, it states the protocol as http.
Regardless, If I replace the generated client.jar with the old client.jar generated
from 6.1sp2, it works just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Brian Butler

I wonder if you have mix up in installing different versions of LabView/nidaq
LabView 5.1.1 requires daqdrv file to access daq, the file is automatically added to the suport files when you use the application builder to make an exe file
where as
LabView 6 and above requires Lvdaq.dll

Synchronizes with my iPad but doesn't synchronize with my iPhone

My iMac and my iPad synchronize via the cloud. But, my iPhone does not. The iPhone has a "*@mac" account whereas the iPad and iMac use my "@aol" address. Could this be the problem? If so, how can I change the iPhone (or the iPad/iMac for that matter)?
Thanks!

The passcode and restrictions password can be two different codes. You need the restrictions password if it has been set up as different from the unlock passcode.

Firefox 31, using phpmyadmin on a webserver, the login times out after about a minute. Didn't occur with v30, doesn't occur with Chrome.

Just upgraded firefox from 30 to 31. Using phpmyadmin on a webserver, (this is running under Plesk), after a short time, typically 1 minute, I get a pop-up that the session has expired and I have to log in again. This didn't happen with v30 and it isn't happening with Chrome. It doesn't happen with the Plesk control panel, just the phpmyadmin session. It looks like a problem caused by the latest version of firefox.

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
